Roster Rating Standard Appeal

Scott wants to appeal down from a 4.06 to a 3.5 which he played at last year. He is over 65
If the teams hold up the same as they did last year his only option will be to play 50/65+ 4.0/4.5

He played all 8 matches. He won 33 games and lost 19. that is a 78% win rate.
He accrued 9 appl points in the 19 losses and allowed 7 in the 33 wins.
This is a tough one. He dominated last year. He is not far over 4.0 and yet he will be a huge disadvantage if he moves up.....He went over 4.0 in his last match.

he has no dupr

Thank you for considering my request to play with the Rincon Rattlers in the 65+ 3.5 rating in the APPL.
APPL history:
2024 started at 3.70 and ended at 3.67
2025 started at 3.67 and ended at 4.06

2025 Games won/lost 26 / 16.

My current Index is not too far out of line with others on my team. Example, Steve Vogel is 3.99 and qualifies for the 3.5 team. I am only 6/100ths of a point beyond Steve and we are equally matched on the court.
There are no other 4.0 teams in our area of Arizona so not qualifying for this team means i am not eligible to play in APPL this year.
I am 68 years old and have arthritis in my knees and wrists. I can't practice as it irritates the condition and causes swelling my knees and wrists. This condition was just developing at the end of the 2025 season and has meant that I have been unable to play this summer of 2025 (we live in WA state in a pickleball community in the summer).
I have no DUPR rating and have only played in APPL games.

I have knee and ankle arthritis that was so acute , due to swelling, that I have been unable to play for the last 6 months. Movement is the best antidote so I hope to join with the Rincon Rattler team once we get to Tucson. This last 6 months is the worst the condition has ever been in my life.
